Netflix is a popular subscription-based video streaming service that allows users to watch a wide range of documentaries, movies, and shows on a number of devices. It enables users to watch movies and TV shows in ways that the traditional remote control system cannot. Netflix subscribers have access to unlimited viewing at any time and from any location.
If you’re a Netflix subscriber, you’re probably used to sharing your Netflix ID and password with multiple people.
